Ok lads,looking for everyone's opinion on this fish. I know that one of angling's biggest debates is the question of genuine crucian carp and I caught this fish this morning weighing 3lb 2oz. Looking on the internet it seems that a specimen crucian is generally agreed to be 3lb and this is the biggest I've ever caught. Caught it on pole fished meat and it fought with that jagged pull that crucian's have and,although you can't see it in the photo,the underside was the lovely orange/yellow you would expect. I know larger fish have a more browny colour as this fish has and I'm sure it's not any form of goldfish because of the lack of a fantail. Here it is.  In my view it's a genuine crucian but I'd welcome other views just for the crack  |

Not really clued up on crusians but the fins look a bit long to me, same with the tail? But someone else could help more, could send the pic to ea for verification mate
Either way its a nice fish, well done mate

Did you take a close up of the fish ?
You can do a scale count, which would give you a better idea one way or another.
Nice fish though.

 The above pic is a brown goldfish, same fins as your fish mate, id say a hybrid but as already said I'm clueless with crusians |

Tails shorter on that one though and eyes seem a different colour on crusians (not that u can judge on the eyes alone)

Mmm. Now I've compared photos, especially the tail area,I'm beginning to think that it's some form of hybrid. Oh well ,still a nice fish though |

Graeme, regardless of what the frig that is, it's a specimen in my eyes. Try taking closer photos mate, don't be shy  Ps, been to a wedding and am pissed, so I apologise in advance if I offended  |

Nice fish mate it dose have carractarisics of a hybrid such as a brown goldfish like the colouration and the longer fins but well done lovely fish. |
